BOOK LAUNCH
Thursday, March 5, 5.30pm
at Fondazione Federico Zeri, Bologna
The catalogue traces the development of the ArtLine Milano project. ArtLine Milano is a public art initiative promoted by the Municipality of Milan, created with the aim of establishing an open-air contemporary art park within the CityLife district. Launched in 2014 and curated by Roberto Pinto (
@rob.pinto ) and Katia Anguelova (
@katiaanguelova1 ), the project forms part of the broader urban redevelopment of the former Fiera di Milano area, now transformed into a new residential, commercial, and cultural hub.
Eight works by artists under 40 were selected to join those of internationally recognised artists invited directly by the curators. The selected under-40 artists are: Riccardo Benassi (
@riccardo___benassi ), Rossella Biscotti (

@estudiowilfredoprieto ), Matteo Rubbi (

@alfredojaarstudio ), Elisabetta Benassi, Judith Hopf (
@judith_hopf ), Liliana Moro (
@lilianamoro_ ), Maurizio Nannucci, Otobong Nkanga (
@otobongnkanga ), Adrian Paci (
@adrian_paci ), Kiki Smith, and Pascale Marthine Tayou (

Today, the park hosts nineteen permanent installations, freely accessible to the public, underscoring the role of public art in fostering engagement, breaking down barriers, and challenging elitist perceptions.
